218: Death by a Thousand Snyder Cuts

Posted on by zeroissues

Release the Snyder Cut! I guess! There’s somehow still talk of this thing (possibly more talk, even), so this week, we’re coming up with our own Snyder Cuts. How do you fix a movie like Justice League, anyway? And how could you fix other movies in the same way?

Plus, we’re talking about comic book piracy. When indie books are being downloaded by the hundreds of thousands, and the creators are broke, is that cool? On the flipside, comic books are damned expensive, dawg. Like, real ‘spensive. We solve this problem*!

All that, and Kyle manages to contribute to the news for once.

216: Hawkman’s Pal Doug

Posted on by zeroissues

Y’know those pals who are, like… un-super pals? This week we’re talking about the friends, the sidekicks, the hangers-on of the superhero stars! Whether they’re teen sidekicks for the kids to relate to, or middle-aged schlubs for the writer of the comic to relate to, they’ve been loitering around the panels for decades! So in their honour, let’s: Find some new powerless pals for famous superheroes! Pitch a new “League of Losers” team (are you listening, Mr. Bendis?)! Have a friggin’ RICK JONES QUIZ! Snap into action!!

Plus, news! The Snyder Cut keeps threatening to be released! An X-Man is a Canadian Member of Parliament! “Joker” has made a bunch of money! Ben Mendelsohn makes us bleep ourselves! And maybe even more!?

187: Just Mash John Larroquette in There

Posted on by zeroissues

Who’s ready for a lightning round!? This week we answer the questions no one else dares to ask! What lesser-known online niche show should you watch? If you had to permanently kill a character at Marvel and DC, who would it be, and why? What non-Batman, non-Superman comic story would you adapt for an animated movie, and who would you cast? What characters would merge in a 2019 version of Amalgam Comics? And what OTHER character would you give the Spider-Verse treatment to?

…I mean, those are great questions, but listen to what WE’D do!

Whatever happens in Madripoor stays in Madripoor!

Also! Kyle guides us in a round of Six Degrees of Batman, we dig into news about Captain Marvel and Dragon Ball Super, and then perform another dynamic Dramatic Reading of the classic comic where Superman adopted Jimmy Olsen!
